Limbaugh called the speech a "bloodless coup" and said that Obama "has delivered the United States to the global powers, without firing a shot, nobody fired a shot at us, and he's surrendering, he's giving it up, giving up the Country so that he can lead the world."

I'm guessing that Limbaugh either doesn't know the Constitution and its history, particularly Founder's division of federal and state government powers, or he's outright ignoring the Constitution. After all, if Limbaugh were to help bring Obama down by bring people up to speed on constitutional limits on federal government powers, he'd ultimately be scraping for material between commercials instead of finding ways to rant about Obama.

What Limbaugh failed to point out concerning Obama's misguided UN speech is this. Obama can only officially address issues with the UN which are based on the very limited powers given to Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. In fact, Thomas Jefferson had commented about the extent to which the federal government could deal with foreign nations.

"Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way." –Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1800. ME 2:442

So Limbaugh and other citizens who don't know the Constitution, particularly state sovereignty, deserve to tremble in their boots concerning Obama's constitutionally baseless ramblings to the UN.

Finally, the following link should help people to understand how voters have shot themselves in the foot with big, corrupt federal government as a consequence of the ill-conceived, anti-state sovereignty 16th and 17th Amendments.
